Introduction

My main goal is to create a therapeutic space that is safe and affirming, while forming an authentic connection to best support you. Whether you seek therapy for self-exploration, change, acceptance, or all of the above, we can work together to find your best path. I will collaborate with you every step of the way, challenge you when appropriate, and meet you with compassion and humor when needed – I’m a big believer in the therapeutic power of laughter! My approach to therapy is individualized, intersectional, and super collaborative. This means I combine bits and pieces of different types of therapy and perspectives to create a unique space for each client, while focusing on your entire self, your story, and the intersections of your identities and lived experiences. I am a licensed clinical social worker, specializing in the treatment of adolescents and adults with trauma-related disorders, disordered eating, anxiety disorders, OCD, mood disorders, life transitions, and relationship concerns. I am particularly passionate about working with members of the LGBTQIA+ community and neurodiverse folks, and I am HAES-aligned.
